Based around a busy Dublin Garda station in a fictional coastal town, Red Rock will chart “the life and dramas of a community about to be enveloped by a feud, through the eyes of those who police it.”
In the very first episode of the soap we will meet two families –Â The Kielys and The Hennessys.
The two families are stuck in a ‘bitter feud’. In a press release TV3 stated that “each episode will be a mix of crime of the week stories.”
